India will tour South Africa for four T20Is in November 2024

India is expected to visit South Africa in November this year to play four T20Is. The games will be played between November 8 and 15 in Durban, Gqeberha, Centurion, and Johannesburg.

It is understood that these four T20Is are the ones that were postponed when India toured South Africa in 2021, their schedule was rescheduled following the increase in Covid-19 cases in South Africa. India played just three Tests and three ODIs during that period, and the CSA release had said that the T20Is “will be rescheduled to get a good chance in the new year”. South Africa had won both the Test and ODI series at that time.

The teams then agreed to play these games at a later date but did not find a window. India also toured South Africa in December 2023 for an all-format series comprising three T20Is, three ODIs and two Tests, all part of the 2023-27 FTP. The T20I and Test series were tied 1-1, while India won the ODIs 2-1.

Hosting India is a life saver for many boards, and CSA is no different. It is understood that the broadcasting revenue from one T20 is equivalent to R150 million (US $8.4 million). CSA announced a loss of R119 million in the last financial year.

“I would like to thank the BCCI for their continued support of cricket in South Africa, and cricket around the world,” said Lawson Naidoo, chairman of the CSA. “Any trip by the Indian cricket team to our shores is full of amazing engagements and exciting cricket, and I know our fans will be eagerly awaiting this series which will showcase the exceptional talent of both teams.”
